From sleek suits to dazzling chains, the 2024 NBA draft is a chance for the league's newest players to make an early statement on the Barclays Center stage.

The spotlight always shines brightest, however, on the No. 1 overall pick -- the first player called also earns the distinction of being first player to show off their style in front of a national television audience.

From Paolo Banchero's purple suit and 'P5' chain to LeBron James' iconic all-white look, NBA top draft pick fashion has seen plenty of evolution over the years. Here are the looks of every No. 1 pick since 2000:
